I mainly share here about the war, but I believe it’s not that far of topic anymore : Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models, reports say . They hired a ‘Google’s book-scanning chief’ to literally cut books up and digitize them , while throwing the physical books away.

All of this is great, but Democrats need to be realistic about ending trumps war. Even Pete has said that there are no good ways to do that. If Dems can't offer a plan, they need to not make it a focus of their platform, imo.
What might a Dem midterm contract for America look like?
*Stop the Iran war
*Investigate the corruption
*Block illegal tariffs fueling inflation
*Stop weaponization of federal funding by reasserting legislative power of the purse
*Impose accountability on immigration enforcement

Under this new rule, the young woman arrested at the reflecting pool could be thrown in a maximum security prison, purely at the discretion of Todd Blanche. Anyone deemed Antifa for instance (you, probably) would also face Blanche's wrath.

Something on the US media front that is interesting. Last night Kyiv suffered another major attack with multiple deaths and casualties. I checked the front pages of both the NYT and WaPo this morning....nothing. A major European city and nothing on their front pages. BBC & Al Jazeera had it.
Why?

Fight hard in local elections, from school boards and Mayors to dog catchers....
A billion-dollar tax break for a massive data center would have gutted local schools in Ferguson. But residents packed City Hall and completely killed the deal. This is how you win against corporate greed. Read about it:

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.
